Help to Buy

WELCOME TO NEWBUY

The NewBuy Guarantee scheme aims to help buyers who have a deposit of at least 5% to buy a new-build home. This is a smaller deposit than is normally required. The scheme allows more borrowers to secure up to a 95% loan-to-value mortgage on new-build properties (houses and flats) from participating builders in England.

HELP TO BUY SCHEME

In the Budget, the Government unveiled further measures (Help to Buy) to assist people looking to buy a new home. ‘Help to buy’ comes in two parts. This first part, available from April 1 2013, is an extension of the FirstBuy equity loan scheme. It is open to anyone wishing to buy a new home – not just first time buyers and means you can buy with a 5% deposit. More information can be found at www.homebuy.co.uk
